Are you ready to see the lists for Top 100, Top International and the other Award recipients?
Well, that’s too bad! You are just going to have to wait this year.
But if you want a preview of who is on the various lists, you will want to tune in to Insightful Accountant’s 2026 Top Five Categorical Advisor Award announcements being held May 7 and May 14 at 2:00 PM Eastern.
This year, for the first time ever, instead of just publishing lists of names and letting you guess where you might stand, we will announce the Top 5 Advisors for each of our Categories and Groups including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks App-ology, QuickBooks Mid-market Specialist, Desktop Integrations, Client Accounting Services Practioner, Niche Practice Specialist, Social-media Guru and QuickBooks Educator as well as Top U.S. Tax Advisor, Up-n-Coming ProAdvisor and International QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
Now when we say Top 5, we mean the five highest ranked candidates in each of the Award categories and groups; however, we will not be announcing those individuals in ‘rank order’. Rather, we will be announcing them in alphabetical order so as not to spoil the actual Categorical and "Best of the Best" Awards being presented at Scaling New Heights in June.
To me, these new 1-hour webinars are like attending the reading of the Academy Award Nominees which are announced six weeks ahead of the Award Presentations on Oscar Night. I am confident that those announced in each category or group will feel just as honored knowing hard they worked to achieve this standing. (Murph)
This year’s lists will not be published until after the May 14, 2026, show. And, since you never know which Award Category or Group you're ranked highest in, you will just have to attend both the May 7 and May 14 shows to see if you are among the Top 5 in any one category or group.
